Chapter 139 Dreaming about the Scenes in the Book
"Seventh Prince, if it's for you, I'm willing to sacrifice Qiu Yun's years of planning at Beisheng."
"Seventh Prince, Qiu Yun did all this for you voluntarily. You don't have to feel guilty about it."
"Seventh Prince, Qiu Yun only wishes you happiness and success in your life, even if you don't love Qiu Yun."
"Seventh Prince..."
Chaotic and noisy sounds echoed, and countless familiar yet unfamiliar images flashed through my mind.
Su Huanyu suddenly sat up from the bed, breathing heavily, his forehead covered with sweat.
What were those images he dreamed about?
Why is it so different from reality?
But it feels... so real.
Chang Shun, the personal guard, walked in immediately and asked, "Master, what's wrong?"
"nothing……"
Su Huanyu waved his hand, then paused for a moment before asking, seemingly unbelievably, "Changshun, what do you think would have happened if the assassin had killed the Third Princess Beisheng on the day she entered the imperial city, and I had been the one who saved her?"
Changshun was stunned. He didn't understand why he suddenly asked this question when that happened so long ago, and he didn't know how to answer.
Su Huanyu didn't care whether he answered or not, his mind was full of the scenes in the dream just now.
He dreamed that Shen Qiuyun fell in love with him at first sight. Not only did she take great pains to marry him, but she was also willing to give up everything she had planned in Beisheng. In order to fulfill his wish, she even deliberately concealed the news of her physical abnormality and gave her life for him.
All of this was so far from the reality he knew, yet he inexplicably felt it was unspeakably real, like...
Like that's what should have happened.
Su Huanyu's face was tense, and a sudden surge of heat surged in his heart.
If everything in the dream is real...
Su Huanyu's breathing stagnated, and he rolled over from the bed. "Changshun, go to Beisheng Country in person and do something for me."
Changshun looked up, and an expression of surprise uncontrollably appeared on his usually expressionless face.
He has followed his master since he was young. It can be said that he is the person in the world who knows best what forces his master has. However, in his impression, his master has never had any intersection with the Beisheng Kingdom.
Su Huanyu ignored his shocked expression and whispered, "Go find Prince Beisheng and tell him that the medicine he gave the Third Princess of Beisheng is no longer effective."
He remembered the scene in his dream just now. Shen Qiuyun told him that she had already cured the drug that Prince Beisheng had given her, and asked him to feel free to use her power in Beisheng and not to feel any psychological burden.
If this is true, then those scenes in the dream...
Su Huanyu's heartbeat quickened as he warned, "After delivering the message, be sure to pay close attention to Prince Beisheng's reaction, but be sure not to let him discover your identity."
Changshun frowned, still unable to understand why his master wanted him to go to Beisheng at this time and get involved in the Beisheng royal family.
With so many things happening recently, shouldn't the master's top priority be to stabilize public opinion in the imperial city?
Su Huanyu could see his confusion, but he really didn't know how to say it.
He has been cautious in everything he has done over the years, but today, he sent Changshun to Beisheng just because of a dream. It was really outrageous and bold.
But he did not think that his decision was impulsive, as if there was a voice telling him: Those dreams are real!
Su Huanyu waved his hand, signaling Changshun not to ask any more questions and to quickly prepare to set off for Beisheng.
Seeing this, Changshun swallowed all his doubts, bowed and left.
No one would have thought that Su Huanyu would send people to Beisheng, and Changshun was the most skilled martial artist among his subordinates, so no one knew about his secret arrangements.
There was a lot of talk about him in the imperial city, but Su Huanyu had no intention of stopping it. He stayed under house arrest, as if he had given up resistance and was waiting for public opinion to fade away with time.
His reaction made both the Crown Prince and the Third Prince very happy, especially the Third Prince, who felt that he had turned the tables beautifully, and was much more energetic when he went to court.
But Jiang Wansang knew clearly that as the son of destiny, Su Huanyu would never accept his fate until he was truly doomed.
After much deliberation, she found Feng Yi and asked him to arrange a rat to keep an eye on the Seventh Prince's Mansion.
There must be a lot of people watching the Seventh Prince's Mansion now. No one else noticed it, so it would be the same if she sent Jiang Er there. But it is different for an inconspicuous mouse.
With so many inconspicuous animals, why must we use mice?
Because, he matches Su Huanyu!
Originally, Jiang Wansang sent out a mouse just to test it out and didn't have any expectations, but this was Feng Yi's first time showing off his skills, so he was extremely serious and kept an eye on the mouse's progress almost all the time.
Unexpectedly, he really caught my attention.
"Boss, the rat has brought news that the guard who has always been with the Seventh Prince has disappeared."
Feng Yi was very excited when he took on the task for the first time, and he is still full of passion.
Jiang Wansang immediately realized that the guard he was talking about should be Changshun.
Now that Su Huanyu was under house arrest, Changshun naturally stayed in the mansion with him and did not go out, so his disappearance was indeed not likely to arouse suspicion.
However, what Su Huanyu could send Changshun to do must not be a trivial matter.
"Can you find out where he went?"
Feng Yi nodded repeatedly, "I have already followed the clues and investigated. As early as half a month ago, that guard secretly left the mansion and headed towards Beisheng Country."
Jiang Wansang frowned, feeling confused.
The only connection between Su Huanyu and Beisheng Kingdom was that he accepted Shen Qiuyun's help in the book, but he only used this power to seize power in Nansu Kingdom and had no real connection with Beisheng Kingdom.
Why is he sending Changshun to Beisheng Kingdom now?
Jiang Wansang is a vigilant person. As long as she notices something wrong, she will not let it go easily.
But Bei Sheng was too far away, and she had no way to investigate these things at the moment, so she could only ask Pei Zhanzhou for help.
Although I don't know why Pei Zhanzhou is in Nansu but wants to cultivate power in Beisheng, based on the hatred he has for the Beisheng royal family that I have felt before, I am afraid that the power he has secretly cultivated must be considerable.
Pei Zhanzhou naturally did not refuse the help she sought.
Or rather, he had never refused Jiang Wansang's request for so long.
Of course, except for the fact that she wanted to take him down, he didn't agree directly!
Pei Zhanzhou asked Zhou Zhi to send a message to Bei Sheng's forces, but the two countries were far apart, and Changshun was traveling alone, so it was not easy to find his whereabouts, and the news would not be transmitted back so quickly.
Before we knew it, the end of the year has arrived.
New Year's Eve.
The imperial city was bustling with activity. Every household had hung red lanterns, and the prime minister's residence was no exception.
Perhaps because they thought the Spring Festival was the most important festival of the year, the Prime Minister's Mansion, which had been depressing and dull some time ago, suddenly became lively, as if all the unhappiness had been dispelled.
Only in Tingsang Pavilion, the calm and peaceful atmosphere was no different from usual.
